Downtown Hawley Partnership (DHP) is hosting a bicycle rodeo August 17 at 5 p.m. in Bingham Park/Park Place Hawley.

This event offers kids of all ages a chance to try out their cycling skills and learn how to ride safely.

Tom Jones, from Around Town Bikes, will be on hand with helpful instructions on bicycle maintenance, tune-ups and tips. Bring your bicycle and have it checked out.

Hawley Police will provide information on bike safety, rules of the road and suggestions to prevent theft.

The Partnership will showcase the new Hawley BikeShare program, which provides day rental of bicycles – free of charge – to residents and visitors alike.

Purchased through the generosity of the members of the Downtown Hawley Partnership, these new bicycles are available in two sizes, in both men and women’s styles, and are geared for ease of use. Bikes are available at four convenient locations throughout Hawley.

The Downtown Hawley Partnership is comprised of Hawley area businesses, organizations and individuals working together to bring cohesiveness, aesthetics, and structure to the growth and development of downtown Hawley.
